Rainfall for June 2023

June 2023 Rainfall. Rainfall totals for June ranged from about half an inch at West Bay to 3.65 inches in Politilly and 4.74 inches in Punta Blanca. So it looks like the east side did better during the month, in many places going over the 3 inch average for a typical June. But we usually record the Sandy Bay amount as the official rainfall for the island and that is 1.45 inches. We are halfway through the year and only have 15 percent of the year’s average rainfall, so we are way behind. We are behind even the drought year of 2019 when it comes to rainfall. June is pretty much the end of the average dry season on the island. An average July brings 5.46 inches of rain. Right now the forecast for July looks pretty average, and definitely better than June was. In July we start looking to the Caribbean for perhaps some of the earliest tropical storm possibilites, though late August through October is our primetime for hurricanes. Right now there’s nothing to see in the Atlantic or Caribbean when it comes to tropical storms. Let’s hope we stay away from the hurricanes but at least get wet.
